Getting to know me....the good, the bad, and maybe the ugly :)

Hello all!

I'm Brittany, or as I am more famously known, Britt or B. I am 21 (I'll be 22 in like 2 weeks :) single with no kids. I was born and raised in Albemarle, in the same little house until I moved off to college. I am blessed with an amazing family. My Mom and Dad have become my very best friends, and I have one older sister, Ashleigh. Up until 2009 that was our family untI my sister got married to her soul mate, Darren, and I gained a niece,Riley. My family went to the same Baptist Church right around the corner from our house, where I was involved in every choir I could be, and the youth group. I lived for the summers with my youth group, and all of our trips which took us to Ohio, Alabama, even to Brazil. Many of those trips and the things I saw, have shaped me into the woman and Christian I am now.

My passion for years has been music and singing. I was involved very heavily in the music ministries at FBC, but I let it fall by the wasteside for the years I was in college and being crazy (I might share that story someday....maybe) but it wasn't until I came to The Village almost a year ago that I have gotten to begin using that gift again. I am more than honored to help lead our people in worship on Sunday mornings. My heart is that every single person, would get to experience the presence of God in such a real way that His presence in their lives would be undeniable. I get to lead alongside some the most talented musicians and I am honored to have an amazing group of friends through the band, and am more than greatful for all that God has blessed me with.

I currently work as a Teachers Assistant in an Elementry School in an EC Classroom in Stanly County, although my dream is to ultimately be in Marketing, and living in Concord closer to my friends. I am looking forward to finishing my degree sometime soon in Marketing, and getting my dream closer to becoming a reality. God has protected me through a crazy ride of life, and I am more than greatful. It can be summed up in about 3 words, beauty from ashes.

As we've said about 5,000 times, I'm not sure what will happen with this blog, but my prayer is that somehow through reading mine and Lindsays posts, that you will be encouraged, that you will see how God is teaching us and growing us in to the women of God He has called us to be. I am sure that you will get some laughs from us along the way as well!
